911 — Emergency Services
For any life-threatening emergency — including seizures, severe confusion, hallucinations, or unresponsiveness during alcohol withdrawal — call 911 immediately.
Emergency and national resources
National Resources and Crisis Support
These are the national services people rely on most, with links to each organization’s own website. Numbers and services are published by the organizations themselves — please verify on their site before relying on any detail.
Alcoholic Outreach does not operate these services and is not affiliated with them. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
If this is an emergency
Call 911 for seizures, severe confusion, hallucinations, unresponsiveness, or any other life-threatening emergency — including during alcohol withdrawal. For suicidal thoughts or emotional crisis, call or text 988. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline supports mental health crises and is not a substitute for emergency medical treatment for severe alcohol withdrawal.
